Sixth
Sunday of Easter
Dear
Parishioners of St. Oliver Plunkett’s
I
write to inform you of the progress of our
Diocesan Appeal ‘Planning for the
Future’ both as regards your parish
and the aims of the Appeal.
You
the parishioners of St. Oliver Plunkett
were set a target of £67,133. You
made commitments of £78,494 of which
you have now contributed £52,219 with
a further £6,678 in gift aid, making
a total of £58,897. My sincerest thanks
to all.
I
appreciate and understand that a donation
pledge over a number of years can be a demanding
and stretching financial contribution. I
urge you to maintain, if at all possible,
you commitment to enable the diocese and
your parish to continue to plan with confidence
for the future.
You
will be pleased to know that 55 of our 88
parishes have now exceeded their target
and a total amount of £2,716,651 has
been returned to those parishes. A further
£200,000 has been assigned to the
Fund of our Sick and Retired Priests, £200,000
to provide resources for Faith Development
and £160,000 to the Cathedral, making
the total amounts £2,280,074, £2,280,074
and £1,824,059 respectively.
The
generosity of so many parishioners right
across the Diocese to the Appeal is enabling
us to plan well for the future.
I
pray God’s blessing on St. Oliver
Plunkett parish.
Yours sincerely
+ Patrick Walsh
